Playful by Design: How to Create Spaces That Spark Independent Play | Myriam Sandler (EP379)

Playful by Design: How to Create Spaces That Spark Independent Play | Myriam Sandler (EP379)

In this episode, play and design expert Myriam Sandler—founder of the wildly popular Mothercould platform and author of the upcoming book Playful by Design—shares how to transform everyday spaces into intentional, low-stress zones that invite kids to explore, create, and play on their own. Myriam unpacks the psychology behind independent play, how to set healthy boundaries (without guilt), and why fewer toys can lead to richer experiences. With real-life insights from working with children of all abilities—including her own daughter with sensory aversion—Myriam’s approach is both practical and empowering. Whether you live in a small apartment or a spacious house, this conversation will leave you inspired to create functional, joyful spaces that work for the whole family.
